MarketMan
Cloud restaurant inventory, purchasing, and food-cost platform with AI invoice scanning and vendor price tracking.
What it does

It tracks real-time food cost and margins and integrates with POS systems. It is also distributed as Square Restaurant Inventory by MarketMan.
Best for
Independent and multi-location operators who want tighter purchasing and food-cost control.
AI features
Genuine AI, marketed as AI-powered inventory: automated invoice and receipt scanning (OCR that extracts line items and updates item prices), plus par-based ordering suggestions and cost-variance alerts. Most of the value is data automation built on that scanning.
Pricing
Standalone plans from roughly $199/month per location; the Square add-on runs about $99/month per location; multi-location is custom (confirm with vendor).
Pricing signals are indicative and change often. Confirm current pricing with the vendor.
